So my roommate keeps her nephew over night sometimes and Letty acts completely weird around him. She barks and wags her nub at the same time. Her hair doesn't stand up but she will run at him. I think she has growled/grumbled at him a couple times. I do know she isn't too fond of men, not around them much except for my dad, whom she loves! Don't know of that's the issue or if she's just wanting to play with him? She's ok if she's in her crate, no barking. But as soon as she's out she acts different. Sorry this is kinda long, but I'm hopn some one could give me suggestions on what to do. Letty's my first boxer I've had.

Personally, to me it sounds like play. Boxers are VERY vocal when they're playing and young children can get them very excited. Never leave the child and dog together unsupervised but I wouldn't be too worried. Hopefully someone else here has some better advice for you!

Definitely sounds like play mine LOVE kids and do that with some of them the little ones they dont do it to but 6 and up it is on! growling wagging yipping and slobbering also grabbing pant legs and shirt tails till they get all the attention they want

My girls are leary of little kids (under 10) but I think it's cause they aren't sure. My boys are all 11 & up so I just think the sight of ones smaller than they are used to. They will usually just sit next to us & let them pet them. But if an older kid comes to them they are all wiggly.

my grandkids are 2 5 7 11 and my nephews are 12,14 16 18 my friends kids are 3 and under for 3 of them the pack lets the small ones climb all over them but mugs the older ones pins the boys down for kisses and the girls are expected to play full time with them or suffer the slobbers too LOL
